Police were investigating a stabbing near the Carmelitos Housing Project in North Long Beach over the weekend, but the victim wouldn’t tell them much about what happened to him, authorities said.

About 4:30 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to the housing project in the 800 block of Via Wanda, where they found the victim with a stab wound to his upper torso, Long Beach Police Officer Ben Hearst said.

The man told police he was stabbed nearby in the 5200 block of Atlantic Avenue, but was otherwise uncooperative, Hearst said. Paramedics took the victim to a hospital, where he was expected to recover from his injuries.

Detectives were working to determine a motive and a suspect description was not available, Hearst said.

Anyone with information about the stabbing was asked to contact police at 562-570-7370. Anonymous tips can be made to Crime Stoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477) or by using the P3 Tips smartphone app.
